I have been telling the world for YEARS that your Presidents, PMs,
Senators, congressmen, parliamentarians are NOT your fucking GOVERNMENTS.

It's the INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES who RUN everything from behind while
CUNNINGLY PROJECTING the typical low IQ western white christian wackos
and weirdo Potuses and PMs as VERY POWERFUL to DECEIVE and PERPETRATE
the LIE that western countries are "angelic democracies".

Western Whites DON"T understand their OWN RACE's modus operandi of
"Pathological lying, Deception" and "Smile, Shake Hands, Back Stab and
KILL" Modus Operandi.


CIA NSA MI6 MI5 ASIS ASIO Psychopaths DEVELOPED Mind Control
Neuroweapons, DEWs and AI with that $21 trillion BLACK BUDGETS and ever
since TORTURING and SECRETLY CHIPPING you low IQ clowns for the last 40
years and LINKED your brains to Supercomputer AI to be operated like
PUPPETS for the rest of your LIVES.


Your Potuses, PMs, MPs, Senators have NO BALLS and NO AUTHORITY to ASK
your REAL GOVTS aka INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES what they did with that $21
Trillion.


STOP DELUDING yourselves, REMOVE the POISON they INJECTED into your
brains that western countries are "angelic democracies", and START
LIVING IN fucking "REAL REALITY".

EVERYTHING in your brains is 100% DISINFORMATION. You have a
RESPONSIBILITY to DISINFECT your own brains.


We will know our disinformation program is complete when everything the
American public believes is FALSE.

America’s Missing Money

The federal government can’t account for $21 trillion—but does anybody care?

During last month’s State of the Union address, President Trump called
on Congress to end the automatic budget caps enacted in 2013, which have
significantly limited the expansion of defense spending. In a rare show
of political support, the chiefs of staff of each armed-service branch
cheered the president’s call. And yet, unmentioned in the House
chamber—and unnoticed by most viewers—was the fact that trillions of
dollars meant to support American troops have been spent for purposes
unknown even to our elected representatives.

On September 10, 2001, then U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld
disclosed that his department was unable to account for roughly $2.3
trillion worth of transactions. The next day, the U.S. sustained the
terrorist attacks that changed the world, and this startling revelation
was forgotten.

When an account discrepancy occurs that cannot be traced, it’s customary
to make what is called an “un-documentable adjustment.” This is similar
to when your checkbook balance is off by, say, ten dollars; you add or
subtract that amount to make everything balance with the bank. In 1999,
the amount that the Pentagon adjusted was eight times the Defense
Department budget for that year; it was one-third greater than the
entire federal budget.

By 2015, the amount reported missing by the Office of the Inspector
General had increased to $6.5 trillion—and that was just for the army.
Using public data from federal databases, Mark Skidmore, a professor of
economics at Michigan State University, found that $21 trillion in
unsupported adjustments had been reported by the Defense and Housing and
Urban Development departments between 1998 and 2015. That’s about
$65,000 for every American.

There is no sign that the government’s internal auditors have made much
headway in finding the missing money. Jim Minnery of the Defense Finance
and Accounting Service traveled the country in 2002 looking for
documents on just $300 million worth of unrecorded spending. “We know
it’s gone. But we don’t know what they spent it on,” he said. He was
reassigned after suggesting that higher-ups covered up the problem by
writing it off. He’s not the only who thinks so. “The books are cooked
routinely year after year,” says former defense analyst Franklin C. Spinney.

According to a 2013 Reuters report, the Pentagon is the only federal
agency that has not complied with a 1996 law that requires annual audits
of all government departments. The Pentagon has spent tens of billions
of dollars to upgrade to more efficient technology in order to become
audit-ready. But many of these new systems have failed and been scrapped.

Predictably, the government did not race to correct the problem even
after investigators sounded the alarm. Skidmore contacted the Office of
the Inspector General but was not permitted to speak to anyone who had
worked on the corruption report. Both the Congressional Budget Office
and the Government Accountability Office assured him that congressional
hearings would have been held if there was a significant problem. When
Rumsfeld eventually did appear before Congress in March 2005, his
testimony offered no substantive answers.

In short: the military doesn’t know how its budget is being spent. The
“total military expenditures” that analysts so confidently cite are
whatever the Treasury Department says they are, and the individual line
items, at least for the army, are for the most part unknown. If money is
being diverted from the armed forces, the losses are degrading our
defense capability in ways difficult to observe. The same is true on a
smaller scale for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, where
billions in missing expenditures could have gone to support the
perennially cash-strapped federal mortgage-loan program, and possibly
other unrelated programs, without congressional knowledge or approval.

Though each passing year diminishes the likelihood that
already-disbursed funds will be tracked down, Americans should insist on
a renewed effort to rein in future discrepancies. The Trump presidency
presents a fresh chance to prioritize accountability, and the president
campaigned on robust military spending and reducing government waste.
With congressional cooperation, the president should ask the secretaries
of the Departments of Defense and of Housing and Urban Development to
testify about any misplaced spending, and commission new independent
audits of their expenses. This ongoing mismanagement of the public
trust—and public dollars—is possibly the greatest silent scandal in
America today.
